Read MoreHide Full Article
Teradyne (TER - Free Report) closed the most recent trading day at $81.11, moving -0.15% from the previous trading session. This move was narrower than the S&P 500's daily loss of 1.4%. Elsewhere, the Dow lost 1.34%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq lost 1.57%.
Prior to today's trading, shares of the maker of wireless products, data storage and equipment to test semiconductors had gained 3.35% over the past month. This has outpaced the Computer and Technology sector's loss of 0.17% and the S&P 500's loss of 0.46% in that time.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from TER as it approaches its next earnings report date. The company is expected to report EPS of $1.11, up 44.16% from the prior-year quarter. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $785.96 million, up 35.03% from the year-ago period.
For the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $3.87 per share and revenue of $2.85 billion, which would represent changes of +35.31% and +23.98%, respectively, from the prior year.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for TER should also be noted by investors. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. To benefit from this, we have developed the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model which takes these estimate changes into account and provides an actionable rating system.
The Zacks Rank system, which ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988. The Zacks Consensus EPS estimate remained stagnant within the past month. TER is currently a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Investors should also note TER's current valuation metrics, including its Forward P/E ratio of 20.98. For comparison, its industry has an average Forward P/E of 31.99, which means TER is trading at a discount to the group.
Also, we should mention that TER has a PEG ratio of 1.25. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. The Electronics - Testing Equipment industry currently had an average PEG ratio of 3.55 as of yesterday's close.
The Electronics - Testing Equipment industry is part of the Computer and Technology sector. This group has a Zacks Industry Rank of 121, putting it in the top 48% of all 250+ industries.
